LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL 



Department or the Interior, 

Bureau of Education, 

Washington^ May 31, 1921. 
Sir: With the close of the World War numerous students from 
foreign countries will doubtless avail themselves of the opportunity 
to pursue courses of study at American colleges and universities. 
Among those students will be an unusually large number who should 
be attracted by the superior advantages and facilities offered for the 
pursuit of graduate study at American institutions of higher learn- 
ing. In order that these students may have some guide to the con- 
ditions of graduate study in this country and to the noteworthy 
facilities at the most important American universities, I have re- 
quested the division of higher education to prepare a circular to be 
entitled " Opportunities for Study at American Graduate Schools." 
I am transmitting this compilation herewith for publication as a 
bulletin of the Bureau of Education. 
Respectfully submitted.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDY AT AMERICAN 
GRADUATE SCHOOLS. 



INTRODUCTION. 

Foreign students are annuall}^ attracted to American higher in- 
stitutions in large numbers. They are to be found in every type of 
college or university, pursuing courses of all sorts and of every de- 
gree of advancement. Professional courses in engineering, agricul- 
ture, dentistry, and medicine have enrolled the majority of them. 
This is evidently because of the belief that American institutions 
have developed methods of training in these and certain other tech- 
nical lines which are more concrete and practical than those em- 
ployed in the institutions of Europe and Latin America. 

At the same time increasing numbers of students from other 
countries are following courses in pure science and the humanities 
in American colleges and graduate schools. Inquiries concerning the 
scope and conditions of work of this kind in the United States come 
more and more frequently to the Federal Government and to the„ 
officers of the various colleges and universities. Both American and 
foreign educators have, therefore, been led to consider carefully the 
desirability of encouraging this flow to the United States of students 
who seek general nonprofessional higher education. The consensus. 
of opinion appears to be that while such movements tend to promote 
international understanding, and hence are desirable, the greatest 
benefits are likely to be reaped by those who come to the United 
States for advanced study after the completion of their general 
liberal training at home. Such students are more mature. They 
are better able to represent and interpret the spirit of their own, 
nations, better able to comprehend the life and purposes of the 
United States, more likely to return to their own countries when 
the period of university training is ended. 

Most States maintain normal schools for the training of teachers, 
or a more or less well-developed State university, or both. The nor- 
mal schools and certain departments of the State universities articu- 
late with the public high school in ways later to be described.

6 AMERICAIT GRADUATE SCHOOLS. 

Alongside the public institutions various groups and individuals 
have founded elementary schools, high schools, academies,^ normal 
schools, and colleges. The most extensive system of private schools 
is that under the control of the Roman Catholic Church. The total 
enrollment of the Catholic parochial schools was 1,633,599 in 1919. 
Other religious sects have also established institutions to provide 
education under denominational auspices. Both the religious schools 
and the private schools under denominational control parallel rather 
closely the amount and character of the training afforded by the public 
institutions of the same grade. These nonpublic institutions and sys- 
tems are allowed perfect freedom of development under the laws of the 
country. 

The foreign observer, noting chiefly the dissimilarities of the State 
systems, is at first inclined to think that a hopeless confusion of stand- 
ards and organization must characterize American education.. But 
the differences are after all superficial rather than fundamental. Tlie 
same general types of institutions are to be found in every State, 
whether they all belong officially to the State system or not. Their 
interrelations are also essentially the same. There are still certain 
inequalities of educational standards, especially among higher institu- 
tions, but these are not so great nor so widespread as is often believed. 

STANDARDS. 

The principal reasons for the variation in the standards of higher 
education are perhaps already apparent, yet they should be briefly 
summarized because of their bearing on the whole plan and method 
of American education. The State educational systems have grown 
up independently of one another. If one takes account of the pro- 
visions for education made by a few of the colonial governments be- 
fore the founding of the United States, the dates of establishment of 
the 49 systems of education have covered a period of something like 
two centuries and a half. In that time the social philosophy of the 
Nation has changed. The common conception of the part the State 
should play in fostering and controlling education has changed with 
it. According to a widely prevailing theory all grades of education, 
from the kindergarten to the university, should be supported and 
managed by the State or local government. In the relatively newer 
States of the West and Middle West this condition is realized. Higher 
and secondary institutions not under public control are either rare or 
nonexistent. The educational policy of the older States, on the other 
hand, had crystallized before the general acceptance of this theory. 
Here the responsibility for providing elementary and a certain amount 

* The term " academy " is generally applied to a school of secondary grade. 



STATE SYSTEMS. 7 

of secondary education is felt to rest properly on the State, but higher 
education is left, for the most part, to independent institutions 
founded under various auspices, principally religious, and subject to 
little or no public supervision. 

Inevitable differences of standards sprang from these differences 
in methods of control. Moreover, a few of the States, particularly 
those of more recent origin and of sparse population and those im- 
poverished by the Civil War of 1860-1865, have thus far found dif- 
ficulty in providing adequate equipment for thorough university 
educatioTL and in enforcing the most severe scholastic requirements. 
In this latter group of States, also, tlie development of laniversities 
;and colleges of the highest grade has been still further retarded by 
the inferiority of the lower schools which prepare students for ad- 
vanced education. 

There are, however, several counter influences at work tending 
to reduce these inequalities. Chief among them is the action of 
numerous national and sectional associations of school and univer- 
mty officers. For a number of years these associations have been 
engaged in defining standards of school and professional training and 
determining the appropriate scholastic requirements for degrees. In 
the sections of the' country where education is best organized the 
recommendations of these associations are regarded as authoritative 
and are put into operation as speedily as possible. The education- 
ally less favored sections are also striving to conform to the stand- 
ards proposed by such bodies and are making increasingly rapid 
progress in this direction. 

In elevating the standards of various types of institutions, prin- 
cipally in the fields of rural education and higher education, the 
recommendations of the United States Bureau of Education have 
also had wide influence. 

To this group of students the offerings of American graduate 
schools should make an especially strong appeal. It is to this group 
that the present monograph is primarily addressed. It is believed 
that the opportunities for advanced study and research now available 
at American graduate schools compare favorably with the best to be 
found anywhere in the world. 

ORGANIZATION OF EDUCATION IN THE UNITED STATES, 

STATE SYSTEMS. 

The United States is a federation of 48 self-governing Common- 
wealths, each of which exercises independently all powers not spe- 
cifically conferred upon the Federal Congress by the Constitution 
or derived by implication therefrom. Since the Constitution does 



8 AMEKICAN GKADUATE SCHOOLS. 

not provide for the control of education by the Federal Government, 
there is no national system ; but the United States contains within its 
area 49 ^ separate systems of education. 

No two of the State systems are exactly similar, yet they possess 
certain common factors. For example, all States provide by law ^ for 
elementary education at public expense. The usual length of the 
public elementary school course is eight years. Children commonly 
enter at the age of 6 or 7 and finish at the age of 14 or 15. In all but 
three States school attendance during a part or all of this period is 
compulsory.^ Public secondary schools, called high schools,^ offering 
a course generally four years in length, are also maintained in every 
State. The high-school course is based on the elementary school 
course and is open to graduates of elementary schools or others of 
equivalent preparation. 

The high school serves three main purposes. To the great mass of 
students who frequent it it offers four years of cultural and informa- 
tional study designed to equip them for more intelligent and resource- 
ful lives as citizens of a democracy. Its second purpose is to prepare 
students for various higher institutions. In the third place, a num- 
ber of specialized public high schools fit young people for wage earn- 
ing in trades and industries. In general, it may be said that the high 
school has tended more and more to adapt itself to the needs of the 
local community by introducing studies of a practical and vocational 
nature and by allowing its students increasing latitude in the choice 
of courses to be pursued. 

Whether American education ever shall achieve complete uniform- 
ity in standards and methods of management is open to doubt. Uni- 
formity is contrary to the genius of the Nation. The Americans 
are an individualistic people. Their educational systems and insti- 
tutions have reflected this quality. These have maintained the right 
to expand as they choose and to adapt their courses to local needs, 
free from hampering restrictions. Their freedom is, in fact, one of 
the sources of their strength, Nevertheless, it may safely be said 
that there is now a national consensus of opinion as to what the 
standards of admission to and graduation from tlie principal types 
of institutions should be, that the standards agreed upon coincide 
in the main with those in force in the corresponding institutions of 
other leading nations, and that they are already maintained by the

8 The raising- of the necessary money by taxation for the support of the schoolsi and 
the administi-ation of ^them are generally left to local communities — counties, towns, or 
districts. But local funds are often supplemented by State funds. 

* The age of compulsory attendance is generally from 7 or 8 to 14 or 15. A few States 
require attendance up to 16 years.

best institutions of the United States. Indeed, students from 
abroad will find in those educational centers to which they will 
probably be attracted unsurpassed facilities for advanced academic 
and professional training. The brief outline of the opportunities for 
graduate study in the United States presented in this pamphlet 
deals principally with conditions existing in these more prominent 
educational centers. 

EVOLUTION OF THE UNIVERSITY. 

THE COLLEGE. 

An explanation of the prevailing organization of higher education 
in the United States properly begins with a description of the Amer- 
ican college, an institution which has no exact counterpart in any 
other country. 

Historically, the college is the oldest of American institutions. 
The first one, Harvard College, was founded in 1636 by the early 
English settlers in Massachusetts. Cambridge and Oxford furnished 
its prototypes. Following the example of these institutions, Harvard 
College was designed to give training in the liberal arts, principally 
Latin, Greek, philosophy, and mathematics. Most of its earlier 
graduates entered the Christian ministry. In fact, to supply prop- 
erly trained young men for this profession was one of the chief 
objects sought in the foundation of Harvard and of the other colleges 
established during the first century of colonial life in the United 
States. Gradually, however, the purpose and character of the col- 
lege changed. The more elementary stages of the subjects taught 
were given over to lower schools. New subjects were added to the 
curriculum. The college lost its theological, bent without becoming a 
training school for other professions. It still offered courses in the 
liberal arts, leavened more and more by the introduction of the 
sciences, and bestowed upon those who completed these courses the 
degree of A. B. 

Three very significant changes in the relation of the college to the 
scheme of higher education occurred during the nineteenth century. 
The first of these was the founding of the professional schools of the- 
ology, law, and medicine. Although students were, and to some 
extent still are, admitted to these schools without a previous college 
education, the tendency has been constantly growing to demand a 
college degree or at least a period of collegiate study as a prerequisite 
for entrance. The college has thus become in certain measure a pre- 
paratory school for those who contemplate a course of professional 
training. 

The second change to which reference has been made was the de- 
velopment within the college of departments of pure and applied 



10 AMEEICA^nT geaduate sghooi^. 

science. By the middle of tlie nineteenth century the degree of B. S., 
granted for work done largely in the sciences, began to occupy a posi- 
tion of parity with the older degree of A. B.® Gradually also these 
courses in science ramified further into courses in engineering. The 
engineering schools or divisions thus became coordinate parts of 
many colleges of liberal arts. 

The third and most momentous change in the status of the college 
was brought about by the establishment in connection with certain 
colleges of graduate schools on the model of the faculties of philoso- 
phy of German universities. The graduate schools have grown up 
principally in the last 45 years; indeed, the movement received its 
first strong impetus with the founding of Johns Hopkins University, 
incorporated in 1867 and opened for instruction in 1876. (See p. 37.) 
The graduate schools offer to college graduates courses leading to 
^he degrees of A. M. and Ph. D. and degrees of corresponding grade 
in the technical branches. They provide opportunities for advanced 
study in the arts and sciences and for research similar to those pro- 
vided by the leading European universitiesu 

THE UNIVERSITY PROPER. 

The college is the nucleus from which all higher institutions of 
learning have sprung. Before the nineteenth century there were no 
universities in the modern sense of the word. With the rise of pro- 
fessional schools of theology, law^, and medicine, most of which were 
outgrowths of colleges already established, American institutions 
began to approach university organization. The name " university " 
came a Iso into common use to designate an institution composed of a 
college and one or more professiona.1 schools, each under the control 
of a separate facult3\ German influence was the dominant force in 
American higher education for many years and the universities of 
ihe United States were deliberately molded to the German type. The 
establishment of the graduate schools marked the final step in this 
evolution, the four traditional faculties of the German university, 
theology, law, medicine, and philosophy, being thus represented. 

But the modern American university is more complex in organiza- 
tion than its Germanic prototype. It has added other scliools or 
divisions.^ Schools of dentistry, of various branches of engineer- 
ing, of agriculture, of veterinary medicine, etc., are now frequently 



«A number of other baccalaureate degi-ees have also beea conferred, such, as Ph. B., 
B. Ped., etc., but the present tendency la toward the two older degrees of A. B. and 
B. S., according as the subjects forming the basis of the curriculum are humanistic or 
scientific. 

' In somte institutions the various divisions are also called colleg-es, as, for example, 
college of medicine, college of education, etc. 



EVOLUTION OF THE Ul^IVERSITY. 11 

included in a single university.^ The University of California, for 
instance, has 19 such schools or departments ; the University of Chi- 
cago, 10; the University of Illinois, 13; and the University of Michi- 
gan, 8. As each new profession develops, a special division designed 
to give the training requisite for it is added to the university. In 
this manner, schools or colleges of commerce, of business administra- 
tion, of domestic science, of ceramics, and of journalism have recently 
been established at a number of the larger universities. The process 
will undoubtedly continue with the further multiplication of the 
professions. 

The term "university," however, has as yet no fixed connotation. 
The laws of the several States governing the incorporation of higher 
institutions vary greatly. Some require substantial assurance that 
an institution applying for charter will conform to the accepted 
standards of the designation which it seeks. In some States, on the 
other hand, it is possible to secure a university charter on the strength 
of prospects and good intentions alone. Even before the evolution 
of true universities, it was common for colleges o:ffering nothing but 
a single course leading to the bachelor's degree to be chartered as 
universities. The name, therefore, antedated the thing. Many of 
these colleges still retain the name without having developed into 
universities. In certain sections of the country and in the minds of 
certain persons the college and the university are thus very naturally 
confused. No distinction is made between the two institutions. This 
confusion is the more readily understood if one recalls the fact that 
practically all the larger, thoroughly organized universities maintain 
a college of arts and sciences. A student who attends the college of 
arts and sciences of Cornell or the college of letters of the University 
of California is a member of the university and by tacit consent is 
allowed to call himself a " miiversity student "; but his educational 
status is exactly the same as that of a student of Amherst College or 
Hamilton College, neither of which has any professional depart- 
ments. Yet the student of the isolated college, like the two just 
mentioned, calls himself a " college student." 

The institutions Ksted and described in this pamphlet are univer- 
sities in the strictest sense of the term, i. e., universities maintaining 
professional divisions and conferring advanced degrees. 

A composite view of the best American universities would show an 
organization of schools and divisions substantially as recorded below. 
Not all the divisions mentioned are represented in every one of the 
strongest universities. This conspectus is intended rather to show 
the scope of the university education than to describe conditions 

8 Thus, for instance, the type of institutions known as the Technische Hochschulo in 
Germany, or the Ecole Polyte«hnique in. France, is in the United States commonly a 
school or division of the university.

actually existing in any particular university. A few universities 
include in their organization other special schools or institutes devoted 
to preparation for particular callings, as, for instance, the School 
of Mines and Metallurgy of the University of Missouri, the College 
of Chemistry of the University of California, the Bussey Institution 
of Applied Biology of Harvard University, the School of Forestry 
of Yale University.

EVOLUTION OF THE UNIVERSITY. 13 

EQUIPMENT. 

In connection with this outline of university organization it is 
fair to mention the astounding array of material appliances pos- 
sessed by all of the principal American universities. In no other 
country has education been the recipient of such large and numer- 
ous benefactions from philanthropic men and women. The greatest 
of these have gone to American universities. Furthermore, the 
prosperous Commonwealths have contributed huge sums for the 
equipment of their State institutions. Certain of the richer univer- 
sities are provided with almost everything they can possibly need 
to make their work effective. A description of a single great uni- 
versity plant would occupy too much space to be included in such a 
brief survey as this, but a citizen of another country who has never 
seen an American institution may form some idea of the magnitude 
of these establishments by the subjoined statements of the value of 
grounds and buildings of leading universities as reported to the 
United States Government: University of Illinois, $5,285,053; Uni- 
versity of Michigan, $4,758,621; University of Wisconsin, $7,086,- 
799; Cornell University, $7,739,700; University of California, 
$11,400,891; University of Chicago, $11,698,223, 

THE GRADUATE SCHOOL. 

The position of the graduate school in the stronger American 
universities is not paralleled by the position of any division of 
universities of other lands. Originally planned to correspond to 
the faculty of philosophy of the German university and offering 
instruction merely in pure science and the humanities, the graduate 
school has far outgrown the first conception of its function. The 
graduate school of the large American university now usually 
organizes into one administrative unit^ all the advanced teaching 
and all the facilities for original research provided by the university 
in any of its departments. Under this arrangement holders of the 
bachelor's degree who desire to specialize, for example, in agricul- 
ture, in engineering, in medical science, or in pharmacy, as well 
as in pure science and the humanities, enter the graduate school. 

In this connection it is desirable to call attention to the fact that 
the degrees granted by American and foreign universities respec- 
tively are by no means equivalent. Much work that is done by 

» This consolidation is not effected everywhere ; for example, Columbia University main- 
tains a faculty of philosophy, a faculty of political science, and a faculty of pure science ; 
Harvard University has a graduate school of arts and sciences, a graduate school of 
business administration, a graduate school of applied biology, and a graduate school of 
medicine* The general description of the functions and facilities of the graduate school 
applies equally, however, to these and to other institutions which have not combined 
graduate departments into a single unit. 



14 AMERICAN GRADUATE SCHOOLS. 

students in the French lycee or the German Gymnasium is in- 
cluded in the undergraduate curriculum of the American college or 
university. It is generally conceded that a student who holds a 
baccalaureate from a French lycee or the Abiturientenzeugnis of the 
German Gymnasium may be ranked with students who have finished 
the second year at an American college or university. Foreign 
students who hold degrees, therefore, from recognized European or 
Latin- American universities should find no difficulty in registering 
for advanced degrees at American universities. Those who demon- 
■strate that they have already fulfilled a portion of the scholarly 
requirements for advanced degrees will be able in many instances to 
reduce the amount of required residence. 

The American graduate school has a double aim. Chronologically, 
the first is to teach the properly prepared students the most advanced 
and specialized phases of the subjects offered by the university. 
More important, however, if second in point of development, is its 
obligation to increase the sum of human knowledge. Kesearch is 
the life blood of the graduate school. The graduate school is differ- 
entiated from the ordinary professional schools by being devoted 
to the principle of research. As a rule, schools of medicine and 
engineering, for instance, aim primarily to pass on to the student a 
body of knowledge which is already organized and of accepted 
professional value, and so to train practitioners of already standard- 
ized professions. The graduate school places first emphasis upon 
the advancement of learning. Its teachers are expected to be 
actively engaged in extending the boundaries of knowledge and to 
direct students in the conduct of investigations. The vitality of 
the graduate school is properly judged by the amount and quality 
of its creative output. 

Training for productive scholarship is still young in the United 
States. In view of its aims the graduate school is less suscei3tible 
to standardization than the schools already described. Its excel- 
lence will always depend in large measure on the fertility and origi- 
nality of its teachers. No two schools however skillfully admin- 
istered can be equal or equally strong throughout ; nor, on the other 
hand, is a single school ever likely to have a monopoly of teaching 
and investigating talent in all lines. One will perhaps be pre- 
eminent in psychology, another in economics, another in chemistry. 
This variation inheres in graduate study. It has always character- 
ized the research departments of European universities, which have 
had a considerably longer history. 

Granting these inevitable inequalities, it is worthy of note that the 
great independent institutions of the East and the best-developed 
State universities of the West and Middle West have taken the 



EVOLUTION OF THE UNIVERSITY. 15 

steps needed to secure a high general level of graduate instruction. 
They have invented enormous sums in library and laboratory equip- 
ment and have vied with one another in seeking as teachers the 
most distinguished scholars wherever they might be found. As 
a result of these efforts, no better material facilities for advanced 
study and research now exist anywhere. Certain American profes- 
sors also rank with the leaders in their respective branches and have 
won international recognition. In fact, no other department of 
American higher education except the medical school has experi- 
enced so rapid and substantial a development. Most graduate 
schools have been established within 25 years. National appre- 
ciation of the value of research, which has made this last expansion 
of the university possible, is hardly 15 years old, yet the enrollment 
in graduate courses in the United States has increased from 4,340 
in 1893 to 7,911 in 1903, and to 16,470 in 1916. A correspondingly 
increased volume of scientific monographs has issued from the 
universities. 

It is therefore safe to say that students from abroad will now 
find in the graduate schools of the foremost American universities 
opportunities for special training and for research broadly equiva- 
lent to those provided by the faculties of philosophy and the scien- 
tific institutes of the universities of Europe. Such students will 
naturally seek those institutions which offer the best facilities and 
which possess the most eminent teachers in the particular lines in 
which they are interested. 

/^^Another function of the graduate school has been the training of 
teachers for higher institutions. Indeed it is now customary for 
appointing authorities to demand of candidates for higher teaching 
positions a more or less extended period of graduate study. Never- 
theless there has been as yet no general adaptation of graduate 
courses to the professional needs of the prospective teacher. Ameri- 
can graduate schools, like the universities of Europe, have in this 
matter proceeded on the assumption that the most important thing 
for the teacher of mature pupils is to know his subject. The method 
of its presentation may then safely be left to his individual judgment. 

The tj^pical American graduate school admits as students only 
those who hold a bachelor's degree from a college or university of 
recognized standing. It confers two orders of degress, the master's 
degrees ^^ and the doctor's degrees.^^ 

To secure a master's degree one year of postgraduate study, de- 
voted as a rule to not more than three subjects, one of which, called 
the major subject, receives the bulk of the student's attention, is 

to A. M., M. Com. Sei., M. F., M. L., M. Fed., M. S., M. S. in Agr., Cer. Eng., Chem. 
EBg., C. E.„ E.. E'., B. Min., Mech. E., Met. E.

usually required. ^^ Most universities also demand a thesis embody- 
ing the results of a small piece of research. 

The minimum period of postgraduate study for a doctor's degree 
is usually three years. The time spent and the number of courses 
taken, however, are of secondary importance. As in the case of 
the master's degree a student pursues not more than three subjects^ 
the major subject requiring the greater part of his time and attention. 
To receive the degree it is necessary that the candidate not only 
demonstrate in examination his mastery of his special field but also 
by means of a dissertation or thesis make an original contribution 
to knowledge in that field. Most universities require the dissertation 
to be published. Limited facilities for this purpose are possessed by 
nearly all the universities whose offerings are listed later in this 
pamphlet. The examinations are both written and oral. In fact, 
the requirements for the American degree of doctor of philosophy 
parallel closely those proposed by the German universities for the 
same degree. But American universities have recently attempted to 
demand of candidates for the degree a somewhat longer scholarly 
preparation and a more substantial thesis. 

FELLOWSHIPS AND SCHOLARSHIPS. 

For the encouragement of research work each university usually 
awards a number of fellowships and scholarships to graduate and 
professional students who show exceptional ability and promise. The 
stipend connected with these fellowships and scholarships ordinarily 
varies from $100 to $600 in the several institutions. The holders of 
these fellowships are sometimes required to teach from one to six 
hours a week in undergraduate classes.^^ Foreign students will 
usually find it necessary and desirable to spend at least a year in resi- 
dence at an American university before their applications for scholar- 
ships and fellowships will be considered favorably. 

SOCIAL LIFE. 

Although the social life chiefly in evidence at American universi- 
ties is primarily of interest to undergraduate students, social oppor- 
tunities for graduate students are by no means neglected. Foreign 
students will naturally find the cosmopolitan clubs existing at many 
universities of great assistance in adjusting themselves to American 
conditions. These clubs are composed of both foreign and American 
students, who are thiis afforded excellent opportunities to become 

^ Two years of postgraduate study are ordinarily required for the master's degrees at 
Yale and Johns. Hopkins Universitiea 

" For example, the Austin teaching fellowships at Harvard University, holdei-s of 
which receive $500 and are expected to devote about half of their time to teaching; 
also the Harrison senior fellowships at the University of Pennsylvania, holders of whicb. 
receive $800 and are expected to offer a single course of lectures.

acquainted and to exchange ideas. Entertainments and lectures are 
held at intervals throughout the university year. A reading room 
containing newspapers and magazines is usually maintained at the 
expense of the club, and in some instances there are also facilities 
for board and room. At nearly all universities also the graduate 
students maintain an organization called the " Graduate Club." The 
purposes of this organization are primarily social, and opportunity 
is thus afforded for graduate students to meet others who are inter- 
ested in the various lines of research represented at the university. 



TRAVEL- 



Not the least advantage to a foreign student pursuing his uni- 
versity work here will be the opportunity to obser^^e the people 
and the customs of an alien nation. He should therefore strive to 
extend his observations as widely as possible. Railroad travel costs 
on the average 3.6 cents a mile; a seat in an individual chair car, 
called a "Pullman" car, costs approximately one-half a cent a mile 
extra. A berth in a sleeping car costs about f of a cent a mile extra. 
Good hotel accommodations may be had — depending upon the 
place — from $3.50 a day, including meals, up. For a longer sojourn 
in city communities, good board and room may be secured at rates 
ranging from $10 a week up. In the country one may occasionally 
find satisfactory board and lodging for less. 

In order that prospective students may gain a more adequate idea 
of the expense of traveling in the United States, the following table 
of distances between important cities is included :

THE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES. 

The development of ideals of graduate instruction and the deter- 
mination of minimum standards, as far as these may be practically 
applied, have resulted during the last 18 years from the work of 
the Association of American Universities. Mention was made on 



52709°— 21- 



IS AMERICAN GEADTJATE SCHOOI^. 

an earlier page of the tendency of educational interests in tlie 
United States to form voluntary associations for the purpose of 
defining standards and bringing about the routual advancement of 
the members. The Association of American Universities was 
formed in 1900 by a group of 14 institutions, which then had well- 
developed graduate schools. Since that time the membership of 
the association has been increased to 24. The stated qualification 
for membership is that an institution must be engaged in giving 
advanced or graduate instruction. In practice the association has 
admitted to its ranks onl}^ those institutions giving graduate work 
of recognized quality leading to the highest graduate degrees. 
While, therefore, there are several other reputable institutions in 
the United States outside of the membership of the association 
which offer graduate instruction, it is assumed that the foreign 
student, desiring to pursue some line of advanced study, would natu- 
rally be especially interested in the offerings of the members of 
this body. In the following pages there is presented a summary 
of the conditions of graduate work at each of these institutions. 
A few of the stronger graduate schools outside the membership of 
the association are also included in the summary. While this sum- 
mary attempts to indicate the branches of learning for the pursuit 
of which each of these universities offers especial advantages, it is 
not intended to be a complete account of the university's offerings. 
Foreign students are urged to correspond with the registrars of the 
institution or institutions they may choose to attend, for full in- 
formation.

Degrees : 

A. M. — At least one year of postgraduate study ; thesis. 

Ph. D. — At least one year, but in most cases three years, of postgraduate 
study ; thesis. 
The university is strictly a graduate school. It is devoted primarily to re- 
search, secondarily to the training of investigators and teachers. For both 
these ends it emphasizes the importance of close personal relations between 
professors and students. Its small student body and large teaching stalf have 
enabled it to foster these relations. 

Noteworthy facilities for particular lines of graduate study : 

A. Equipment and research funds : Pedagogical museum ; facilities for re- 

search in genetic psychology. Special funds exist for research in 
physics and chemistry. Especially noteworthy, both on account of the 
eminence of the instructors and the comprehensiveness of the courses, 
is the work in education, under which head is included instruction in 
psychology and pedagogy. The university is one of the few in the 
country to possess an excellently well-equipped pedagogical museum. 
A children's institute provides special facilities for various branches 
of child study. 

B. Library facilities: Seventy-five thousand volumes. The public library 

of Worcester, containing 200,000 volumes, is available for the use of
